Everyone knows how addictive a BlackBerry can be--they don't call them "crackberries" for nothing! Well, you haven't seen anything until you try the brand new BlackBerry Pearl. This brand new phone has it all, and it's small, smart, and stylish too. Not only does it have all the features you expect from a BlackBerry (Phone, Email and Text Messaging, Instant Messaging, Organizer, Browser) but it has some great new "Wow" features including a camera, media player, and BlackBerry Maps. In The BlackBerry Pearl Pocket Guide, trusted gadget teacher and best-selling author Bart G. Farkas reveals the secrets to using this amazing new phone: learn how to take cool pictures and share them with your colleagues, view Web pages, import songs, manage your appointments, communicate with email, text and instant messaging, retrieve maps and detailed driving directions, and even import video. This handy pocket-sized guide also walks readers through the fun lifestyle functions, from playing a new Sudoku game every day to charting your diet and exercise patterns. In this low-priced guide, you'll find compact-yet-detailed coverage of everything the BlackBerry Pearl can do, as well as all the necessary information on "why" you should use it to be more productive.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic, January 4, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blackberry Pearl Pocket Guide (Paperback)
If you've never used a blackberry at all get this book, but if you actually read any of the instructions that come with it this book is redundant. I did not learn anything new that I hadn't already read or figured out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Much Help - Especially With A Mac/Apple Computer, January 15, 2007
This review is from: Blackberry Pearl Pocket Guide (Paperback)
I purchaed this book with the hopes that it would give some insight on how to have the Blackberry Pearl & my Mac computer communicate better. There just wasn't information that was helpful in it for that purpose. All of the other info was pretty basic.

Apparently, Blackberry phones just don't work well with Macs. Since Macs are well-known for recognizing software/hardware/products, this is quite odd.

I've learned more from reading on-line forums, than from the book.

This review is from: Blackberry Pearl Pocket Guide (Paperback)
Disappointing. Just skims the surface with very little detail on how to use the substantial number of sub-menu options available.
